Instead

I went to the material shop in town to buy some white sewing thread. They didn't have any, much to my consternation. I picked up some off-white thread and then had a look around. I found some invisible thread. Hmmm, I've been interested in trying that, since I read about it on Jane Eborall's blog. I won't have to worry whether to match the tatting or the material when I'm sewing on motifs. I bought another zip for my stash and two lengths of material to make blouses. As Jack said, I did pretty well, considering that the shop didn't have what I was looking for!

    If you have a kid in Scouts, invisible thread is the only way to go! It can be a bit of a pain to use by hand. If you keep the length short, it is easier to use and there is less tangling.
    Love to see the blouses when they are done.

    Yes I think you did, strange nit to have white sewing thread but at least you made up for it.
